Publishing on both iOS and Android gives an app more distribution. It also gives the business two different financial reporting systems.

The problem becomes obvious at month end.

## Two stores, different report models

Apple and Google use their own terminology, report schedules, currencies and financial fields.

Trying to compare them by copying a single headline number from each dashboard usually produces an unreliable total.

## Normalize without deleting the source

A good cross-platform revenue model should create common concepts such as:

- provider
- accounting period
- gross amount
- fee amount
- tax or adjustment amount
- refund amount
- net amount
- currency
- revenue state
- source report

But the original platform data should remain traceable.

Normalization should make data comparable, not make the source impossible to audit.

## Keep estimated, finalized and paid values separate

This is one of the most important rules.

An estimated sales figure answers a different question from finalized earnings, and finalized earnings answer a different question from cash received in a bank account.

## What a useful app revenue dashboard should answer

At minimum:

**How much did my apps generate this month?**

**How much did the platforms deduct?**

**How much was refunded or adjusted?**

**How much is finalized?**

**How much was actually paid?**

**Which store, app or product generated it?**

## Faturatik's approach

Faturatik is building a revenue workspace for internet businesses, starting with App Store and Google Play.

Instead of maintaining a recurring spreadsheet, developers can connect their revenue sources, normalize the reports and keep each month's financial trail ready for review.
